Comment
Bremen (German: [ˈbʁeːmən] (About this soundlisten)), officially the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (German: Freie Hansestadt Bremen), is the smallest and least populous of Germany's 16 states. It is informally called Land Bremen ("State of Bremen"), although this is sometimes used in official contexts. The state consists of the city of Bremen as well as the small exclave of Bremerhaven in Northern Germany, surrounded by the larger state of Lower Saxony.Interesting fact
The 2½ Schwaren coin from the City of Bremen (German States) made of Copper weighing 3.43g is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued during the period of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. The coin's design and value were standardized across the Confederation, making it a widely accepted form of currency during that time.
